Resumen

1. 1. In rat vas deferens histamine concentrations from 0.2 to 650 μM depressed twitch response to field stimulation in a dose-related manner, but did not evoke release of [3H]NA. The depression was greatest at low stimulation frequency. 2. 2. Histamine only slightly depressed contractile response to exogenously added noradrenaline. However, reduction of Ca2+ concentration to 1 mM produced a marked dose-related decrease in contractile response. 3. 3. Cimetidine, but not mepyramine, reduced or abolished histamine inhibition of twitch response and contractile response to added noradrenaline in the presence of 1 mM Ca2+-containing Krebs. 4. 4. These findings demonstrate the presence of a post-synaptic inhibitory histamine H2-receptor in the rat vas deferens.
